This hotel has been around for many many years so it’s a bit dated. Shops around the area closes by 3pm and there’s not much to do at night and not much options for dinner. Best to reserve dinner at the hotel before checking into hotel otherwise could end up eating cup noodles at the convenient store. Hotel will not be able to accommodate request for breakfast or dinner at their restaurant during check in, at least that was the case for us and we had to find our own food elsewhere.

Staffs speak decent English. You should have no problem checking in. Nice staff. They provide shuttle bus between hotel and the bus station, all you have to do is ask the information centre to call the hotel for you and they will pick you up from the station. The private bath IS NOT hot spring tho. But the hot spring, especially the golden one, the outdoor ones are excellent. Great view great feel. The dinner is ok(not bad~and everything is fresh. We were just expecting more. I heard the dinner in your room would be even better but of course you’d also have to pay more) but the breakfast is really good. Again, not that the dinner is bad. Definitely worth the price. If you go to Arima Onsen, the hot spring in the hotel should be enough. Nice experience.

A good place for couples to date, comfortable environment and excellent service, friendly and polite staff, will ask customers every day what they need? Selections regarding menu items will be provided. Super rich dinner and breakfast, hot spring spring water with white and golden soup. The skin is super smooth after soaking in white soup.

It was my first time to Arima Onsen. It suddenly rained when I arrived by train. I followed the navigation and dragged my suitcase up the hill. I was soaked all the way to the hotel entrance. The staff immediately greeted me and asked me if I was XX with a list of each guest's name. It was really warm at that moment. The thoughtfulness and meticulousness of the old hot spring hotel are all here. The mountain view outside the floor-to-ceiling glass in the lobby is very beautiful. There are 3 hot springs together with Yugetsu Sanso, both Kindo and Gintsu, both indoors and outdoors. The cleansing products made from sake lees provided by the hot springs are very comfortable and must be bought. The hotel's supporting shops can also refund taxes, and the prices are cheaper than those of shops outside, so you can buy them. In addition, the check-out time is until 12 o'clock, which is very comfortable.

I booked a single room. The hotel is about 1km away from Kobe Electric Railway, but the hotel has a car that can provide pick-up to Kobe Electric Railway. There are 3 hot springs inside, mainly the famous iron salt hot spring in Arima.

The hotel is located at the top of the mountain. The road from the station to the hotel is uphill. It is recommended to contact the hotel for pick-up or take a taxi. The room is relatively clean, but there is a lack of bottled drinking water. The staff is very polite.

Old Japanese hot spring hotel
Connected to the sister hotel next door
There are a total of three hot spring bathhouses that you can bathe in (both gold and silver pools)
The atmosphere is very good, the staff are very friendly and helpful
After I checked out and missed the charging cable, I immediately chased it out and gave it to me.
But it feels like an old hotel (carpet/décor...)
I don’t feel any shortcomings except the high price!

Park to reach your destination (free valet parking available)
Traditional Japanese hospitality makes you feel at home
The quality of the food is good, and the portion size and taste are good.
Hot springs are ok, there are several to choose from

I came here with my friends and children. The room was 4,000 per night. It was old and average. It was expensive and did not include meals. The front desk staff was very unprofessional. We pointed to the cable car station we were going to on the map and showed it to the front desk boy to ask the hotel's shuttle bus to take us to the cable car station on the mountain. The staff took us on the bus and said "oh oh oh" and took us to Jiaofang at the bottom of the mountain. We walked a lot and detoured for several kilometers before we found out that the bus took us in the opposite direction... The child broke his leg climbing the mountain before he even played. If the store can't go, they can just say it directly, but it's very annoying to take us around after looking at the map without saying anything. It's too cunning. I don't know if they are pretending not to know or doing it on purpose. Before checking out, I asked if they could send us down the mountain. The front desk replied to us with a sneer while covering his mouth and chatting with his colleagues next to him, saying no. I thought he didn't understand, so I asked again using the translation software. He pointed to the watch, which meant impatiently that he was off work. This kind of insincere reception for several times in a row makes people feel very uncomfortable and have a bad experience. It can be said that there is no service at all. Bathing is all self-service. To be honest, I still like Arima very much, but I really don’t recommend staying at this hotel. The price-performance ratio is extremely poor. I will not stay here again in the future. If someone says that this hotel is good, you are right. Whoever likes to come and show off can come.
